Mr.. BLAINE has no paddock on
his mouth. He holds himself ready
to speak on all proper occasions.
As the guest of Mr.. Carnegie he at
tended the laying of the foundation
stone of the new free library build
ing in Edinburgh for the endow-
ment of which Mr.. g. donated $3.50,
600. He was called on to make a
speech and complied. He was much
cheered. He claimed Mrs. Carne-
gle as countrywoman, and declar-
ed that there was no child in the
United States old enough to know
about things away from home who
was unacquainted with Edinburgh,
the many publications of the Cham
berses and the works of all Scot
lands best thinkers, these having
always had large circulations in
America, and all having profted by
them. As for himself he looked
back with pleasure upon the splen-
did galaxy of Scotland's stars-Scott
Jeffrey and Sidney Smith-whose
literature, the latter ayowed, had
been cultivated upon little oat-
meal.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS

II is the duty of every person who ha
used Boschce's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
persons can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
SO, 900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles
10 try. sold at 10 cents. Regular size. rs
cents. Sold by all Druggists and dealers.

Our Late Defeat.

Mr.. EDITOR The result of the
election in this city yesterday was
no surprise to we'll informed repub-
licans. Notwithstanding the very
popular desire of the tax payers Of
both parties for change in the az
ministration of our corporation af
fairs. the old board of aldermen
were in the main reelected. Why?
The republican party would not en-
,dorse the.trickery What was used to
foist upon the voters men of straw,
men who had more interest in their
Individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and self
importance, than in the welfare of
the party or the best interests of
the city. They repudiated the
nominations and left the tricksters
to ignominious defeat and disgrace
and they got both.
VIII the lesson be needed in the
future ? We fear not. There are
few men in our midst who had
rather ruin the party than see it
successful with themselves left out,
and being lost to shame and manli-
ness, will continue to act in the
hereafter upon the principle of
"rule or ruin" as they have done
heretofore.
There is but one remedy Drive
these disturbers of the peace and
success of the party out of its organ
ization and give them no recogni-
ton in the party's primaries. They
are nuisance to any party they
may profess to owe allegiance and
continual disturbing element. They
are worse than open enemies and
should be treated with no conslde-
rations of respect as party men, but
driven out to stand alone or find
more genial company in the ranks
of the opposition. They can join
the Wells. Riley combination, or the
Bannon- Ridgely combination, eth
er of which will give them ample
scope in which to exercise their ge-
Mus as designing and unscrupu
lous political tricksters.
This defeat, when victory was in
their grapp, will be a lesson we hope
to tie better element of the repub-
lican party. They must attend the
primaries and see to it that good
men are placed in nomination, and
we hope the lesson will not be for.
gotten in making their preparations
in the coming fall elections. With
ticket composed of the best men
of the party, we have high hopes of
success in this county. With tick.
ct on a par with the one just defeat
ed in the local election, the party
will be doomed to further mortifca-
ton. The republican party of An
napolis will never endorse fraud or
triokery, though either or both be
adopted, to fight their opponents
with their own weapons. Good
candidates and fair elections are
what the party demand, and if not
granted defeat will follow.
We very much regret that Messrs.
Munroe and Randall permitted their
names to go upon the ticket, because
they are good men; substantial citi-
zens; and progressive, yet conserva-
tive, in their views. civil commu-
nication," etc.,
Trusting that better men and bet
ter methods will be adopted in the
future, and that the city will fall
into better hands when the people
shall again be called upon to select
its rulers, we patiently await the
coming time.

The views expressed in the fol-
lowing article, on "What Maryland
Needs" from the columns of the
Baltimore Herald, should, we think
be taken up and advocated byevery
newspaper in the State. Says the
paper referred to cit must be any
thing but pleasant spectacle for
the average Maryland farmer to see
thousands of immigrants yearly car
ried westward from Baltimore with.
out any effort being made to attract
settlers and farm laborers to the
fertile lands and salubrious sur
roundings of "My Maryland" 1t
may be true that the virgin soil of
the great West and Northwest will
yield heavy crops without fertilizers,
but there are disadvantages which
more than eounterbalance the won
drous fertility of the Western lands.
TO begin with, the immigrant who
settles in Maryland is spared the
expense of a long railroad journey,
and the ordeal of exposure to eli
mate which must strike him as be-
ing distressingly hot in summer
and piercingly cold in winter. In
Maryland the operations of the far
mer are seldom interrupted for moro
than two months in the year. There
are no tornadoes, no disastrous
floods; no long, weary and danger
Gus journeys to market. The i'm
migrant, of any European nation
ality, can find parts of Maryland
that will suit HMM point of eli
mate-quite as we'll and often much
better than his native land. Prob
ably there is no other State in the
Union which offers such varied food
such a profusion of vege
tables, of fish, of fruit, of truck.
Land can be obtained on easy terms,
and merchants are as accommodate
ing as produce will allow, many
overstepping the bounds in the de-
sire to show hospitality and give en-.
enlargement to new corners. The
next Legislature owes it to itself,
and to the farmers and land-own-
ers by whom the members were
largely elected, to see that there is
in this State a Bureau
of immigration, of a character SIM
liar to that established in all the
Western and many of the Southern
States. In Southern Maryland |
there are hundreds and thousands
of acres lying untitled, and likely
to remain untitled, simply because
no steps have been taken to divert
q portion of the tide of immigra-
ton in this direction. 1t is safe to
say that any money expended in
such an effort would be returned
ten fold within as many years.
